During this horrific war, the Americans decided to gain better weapon tech. The creation of the B.A.R.(Browning Automatic Rifle) was one of the best new weapon developments created. The Browning Automatic Rifle(.30 caliber, gas operated, and air-cooled) were one of the most improtant roles in this war.The B.A.R. was created in WWI was as a gun that had the power of a machine gun and not a traditional rifle but not a normal U.S. Army's type of weapon of choice. The BAR began to be too clumsy to wield and fire from the shoulders of the U.S. troops. This weapon would tear through metal shreding the metal and what ever its protecting inside it.
